DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The rail arrangement 1 according to the drawing comprises a base profile 12 made of elastomeric material. Said base profile is arranged below the rail foot 5 and provided on both sides with the flanges 15, which completely or partially grip around the foot of the rail. Furthermore, the base profile has a plurality of channels 13 and 14 extending in the longitudinal direction of the rail and being arranged in a plane X extending parallel with the underside 5′ of the foot of the rail. In this connection, the channels have a rhombic cross-sectional shape (in the unloaded condition), whereby the total of the two channels 13 in the two edges areas of the base profile 12 have a smaller cross-sectional shape than the five channels 14 located in the center area of said base profile, said channels having the same cross sections. The spacing between the channels 13 and 14, which have different cross sections, is in this connection greater than the spacing between the channels 14 having equal cross sections. Furthermore, the channels are exclusively arranged in the region below the underside 5 of the foot of the rail, whereas the area of the base profile 12 located outside of the rail foot 5, where the base profile changes into the flanges, has no channels.
The base profile 12 continuously supports the rail. Tilting of the rail is reduced owing to the fact that the rigidity of the said base profile increases outwards, which has a positive effect on the driving level.
Furthermore, the rail arrangement 1 comprises the two side profiles 16 and 17 made of elastomeric material. Said side profiles are driven into the joint (rail chamber). Said side profiles are adequately rigid for producing any desired type of upper structure, on the one hand, and sufficiently soft, on the other hand, that the stroke of the rail will not be obstructed.
At the level of the rail head 3, the side profile 16 is provided with a channel 20 extending in the longitudinal direction of the rail, which increases the elasticity in said region. The side profile 17, however, is provided with a tracking groove 18 located on the side of the wheel rim, which reduces the susceptibility to wear.
Furthermore, the rail arrangement 1 is provided with a joint tie coating 19 made of elastomeric material, which assures the mobility of the joint tie 6.
The base profile 12, the two side profiles 16 and 17 as well as the joint tie coating 19 consist of an electrically insulating elastomeric material, whereby the following material parameters usefully apply:
Base profile 12: Material EPDM Carbon black component maximally 17% by weight; light filler component at least 15% by weight; or
Material NR, in particular NR/SBR or NR/BR; carbon black component maximally 17% by weight.
Side profiles 16 and 17 and joint tie coating 19: material SBR or SBR/BR; carbon black component maximally 24% by weight; light filler component at least 6% by weight.
The creeping current component and the voltage corrosion are particularly effectively minimized on account of said material-specific measures.
Furthermore, within the area of connection with the two side profiles 16 and 17, the track surfacing 9 is on both sides equipped with the steel sections 11, the latter in particular having an L-shaped cross section, which stabilizes the surfacing of the rail track.
